Duties and responsibilities

• Develop and apply simulation methods for freeze drying (lyophilization) processes,
  including equipment- and vial-scale CFD (computational fluid dynamics) models as well as
  reduced-order models and digital twins based on those simulations. Activities will focus on
  the improvement and development of simulation methods that take into account the
  elements of freeze-drying processes, including:
  o Developing competence in fluid mechanics
  o Learning numerical methods and computational fluid dynamics
  o Setting up, performing and analyzing computational fluid dynamics
  models for rarified multi-component flow
  o Developing reduced-order models based on results from computational
  fluid dynamics simulations
  o Actively participating in project teams and scientific networks
  o Writing project reports and publishing research in reputed journals
  o Presenting results at internal meetings and at international conferences
  with partners and colleagues
